Honestly, I am very proud of not having one because I am not wasting my time watching re-runs of old shows or new reality shows that have as many thrills as a game of cricket. Not having a TV makes it hard to watch live sports but thankfully the Internet and the local bars fill this void just perfectly. So how did TV took revenge on me?

Well, I was visiting a friend of mine the other day and needless to say he has a TV (statistically, any person on this planet is most likely to have one than not.) A number of my friends got together at his place to plan on the celebrations of another friend’s birthday. So, after spending a couple of hours doing everything but plan for the birthday party (mostly we were talking about women trying to figure out which celebrity has the best pair of jugs,) including consuming a considerable amount of poorly brewed beer. As I stood up to make one of many trips to the bathroom, I tripped and I smashed my leg on the tv stand. Boy, did that hurt! I’m limping from that hit two days later. I have to admit that if TV wanted to take revenge upon me for not having one while encouraging everyone I know to get rid of theirs, it certainly succeeded.

On that note, get rid of your TV now!

You bet there is; it is just about any other way. But try telling that to a friend of mine who is a serious gun nut. Back in November, we casually talked about what kind of gift would be ideal for us this year. I said that I would love a good book to read. He said he wanted some state-of-the-art rifle scope for his hunting expeditions.

He went on to talk for more than an hour about Nightforce rifle scopes. Apparently, his ability to take the lives of animals would be so much more improved with on of these on his rifle. He is crazy as far as I am concerned but just in case I went to check out the cost for one of these. A good rifle scope will set you back more than $1000! In this tough economic times? Dream on! I just bought him a book on hunting. I don’t think he liked it.
